Hawaiian-Style Beef Stew
Hawaiian-Style Beef Stew features deeply seared beef simmered in a soy- and Worcestershire-laced tomato base that builds rich umami and a glossy finish. Vegetables are added later so the carrots, celery, and potatoes keep their shape while the broth reduces to a hearty, saucy consistency. Serve ladled over rice for a comforting, island-inspired dinner with savory depth.

Place the beef on a cutting board and cut it into uniform 1 1/2-inch pieces. Season the beef directly on the cutting board; sprinkle with salt and 2 tablespoons flour, and toss until thoroughly and evenly coated.
- 2
Add vegetable oil to a heavy-bottomed stew pot and set it over high heat. Working in 2 or 3 batches so the beef is in a single, uncrowded layer, brown the pieces deeply on at least 2 sides; transfer them to a bowl and set aside. Reduce the heat to medium-high if the beef is browning too quickly or the pan seems too hot.
- 3
Remove the last batch of browned beef to the bowl, reduce the heat to medium-high, and add the onions. Cook, stirring, for a few minutes until they just start to turn translucent. Add the tomato paste, then cook and stir until the tomato paste begins to brown on the edges of the onion, about 4 minutes.
- 4
Sprinkle in the remaining 2 tablespoons flour and cook, stirring, for about 2 minutes. Add the tomato sauce and beef broth, and stir to combine. Add Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce, and bring the stew to a boil, stirring occasionally.
- 5
Return the browned beef pieces and all accumulated juices to the pot and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to low. Cover tightly and simmer gently for 1 hour.
- 6
Uncover and stir in black pepper, cayenne, carrots, celery, and potatoes. Cover again and simmer on low for 1 hour.
- 7
Remove the lid and simmer uncovered until the sauce reduces slightly and thickens, and the meat is very tender, about 1 hour more. Taste for seasoning and adjust if needed. Serve with rice.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
